"Although the reduction of car use is the unifying theme, the attraction of this book is the family perspective from their own experiences. It is a must-read for every professional in the built environment." - 'Curbing Traffic' reviewed in Issue 170 of the Urban Design Journal.
This is what happens when you build a complete bike lane network! —————————— The cycling revolution in Paris continues: Bicycle use now exceeds car use | Lifestyle | EL PAÍS English english.elpais.com/lifestyle/2024…
!! @StreetsblogUSA calls CITY LIMITS "gripping ... a propulsive, deeply human, and ultimately hopeful story of the people who are leading that fight, even as they stand to lose their homes, businesses, and the very fabric of their neighborhoods." usa.streetsblog.org/2024/04/24/we-…
The most insidious form of climate denial is no longer, "It's not happening," but the belief that incremental or tech solutions will solve this crisis. 1/6
We speak to @MomentumMag about the rise of the bike bus and school street: "The future of cities belongs to their children, and this new movement might just be a vital tipping point where they are finally considered and involved in the planning process." momentummag.com/urban-cycling-…

. The Case for More 9-Year-Old Biker Gangs When the mom of a girl, 9, told her she had to ride her bike to get to a friend's house, a world of freedom opened up...for both of them. Then the same thing happened neighborhood-wide! letgrow.org/the-case-for-m…
“It’s becoming much more mainstream…almost every city in America has a protected bike lane now.” buff.ly/3JwR8hy
Today we were honored to join a bike tour curated by the City of Antwerp inspired by our book ‘Curbing Traffic’. Each stop drew from one of its ten chapters, spotlighting a specific policy to improve age- and gender-equity, conviviality, accessibility, resilience and prosperity.
“For this person with a physical disability, quality, barrier-free bicycle infrastructure is his ability to be an unimpeded and continuous part of society.“ #cpr2024 @modacitylife
Melissa and Chris Bruntlett @modacitylife Ketnote speach at #cpr2024 of @Voetgangersbwg and @Publieke_Ruimte The importance of an empathic approach to (urban)mobility. Inspiring!
Street sweeping day is a helpful visual reminder of how much public space we dedicate to “free” (taxpayer subsidized) car parking. It’s especially impressive given that almost every property in my neighborhood also has parking in the alley.
REMINDER: Pls tune in tmw, Wed, April 24th, at 11 am Pacific / 2 pm Eastern for my conversation with @Pflax1 about his beautiful new book Live To Ride: Finding Joy and Meaning on a Bicycle. We discuss the fact that if you're riding a bike, you're doing it right. More info 👇
To most commuters, the word “congestion” carries negative connotations, and is something to be avoided at all costs. But to those that ride a bike, it doesn’t carry the same weight, being perhaps the only mode of transport where running into traffic makes it even more enjoyable.
“If cities wish to improve their traffic safety outcomes, they should first and foremost plan and design for the convenience and safety of those not using a personal automobile" momentummag.com/study-shows-bi…
Anne Hidalgo became Mayor of Paris 10-years ago. In that time the City has; 🚲 built 1,300km of bike lanes 🌳 planted 145,000 new trees 💨 reduced air pollution by 40% 🌳added 45km of new parks 📚 converted 180 streets to “school streets” 📍 Paris 🇫🇷 politico.eu/newsletter/glo…
This is a good piece. Words matter. Bookmark this for the next time you have to explain to someone how their word choices bias what they are saying. usa.streetsblog.org/2024/04/22/fiv…
Up to a third of morning motor traffic in many cities is parents dropping their kids off at school. Shifting some of these trips to active modes by providing safer routes is likely the most economical, expedient and efficient way to reduce congestion—and improve quality of life.
Pop-up protected bike lanes, a willing city, and a school: A match made in heaven. Pop-ups are a great way to find out if there's a latent demand* for youth cycling, like this one we did last week in the @cityofhialeah (Miami, Florida). *There usually is.

En muchas ciudades, hasta un tercio del tráfico por las mañanas son padres llevando a sus hijos al colegio. Cambiar algunos de estos viajes a modos activos proporcionando carriles seguros es la forma más económica y eficiente de reducir atascos y mejorar la calidad de vida.
De fiets is onmisbaar. Het is gezond, goed voor het milieu en zorgt voor bereikbaarheid. Bij de Landelijke Fietstafel sprak ik met bestuurders en @TourdeForceNL. Het ging onder meer over #fietsen voor iedereen mogelijk maken en investeringen in bijvoorbeeld doorfietsroutes. 🚲
This is what happens when you build a complete bike lane network! —————————— The cycling revolution in Paris continues: Bicycle use now exceeds car use | Lifestyle | EL PAÍS English english.elpais.com/lifestyle/2024…
Thank you to @VeronicaODavis for sharing her wisdom here in Kansas City. @BikeWalkKC hosted her for a discussion of her book "Inclusive Transportation" and a meeting with students at @UMKC! Proud of my colleagues for making this happen and thankful to our generous sponsors.
"With a network of dedicated bike lanes crisscrossing the city, navigating Utrecht is a breeze on two wheels. Cyclists can explore historic landmarks such as the iconic Dom Tower or pedal along the picturesque canals that wind through the cityscape." momentummag.com/here-are-10-of…
The most insidious form of climate denial is no longer, "It's not happening," but the belief that incremental or tech solutions will solve this crisis. 1/6
Take electric vehicles. As demand grows, so does the need for cobalt; 70% of which is mined in the DRC. This has led to an explosion in human rights abuses; from child labour, to miners being buried alive when tunnels cave in. Workers make as little as £2 per day. 2/6
In the pursuit of shiny, silver bullet solutions, we are inadvertently doubling down on deeply-entrenched injustices. What if we zoomed out from the combustion engine and asked, "How do we redesign mobility?" 3/6
This is a much more exciting question, because then we can focus on solutions that are accessible and serve the majority of people; not the handful who can afford a new Tesla. In fact, if we made cities LESS car-friendly, they could be both safer and greener. 4/6
Imagine if we instead prioritised community allotments, local gardens, playgrounds, cycling infrastructure, public transport... all of which lead to cleaner air, improved climate resilience, and healthier, happier people. 5/6
"Sustainability" should not the end goal; but the means to creating a more fair and equitable society. 6/6
Today's tragic events are a sobering reminder of the need for safe infrastructure. As the news broke, @RSAIreland were in front of an Oireachtas Committee. They were asked had they ever made submissions in support of safe infrastructure. Their silence in response speaks volumes.
Hear from Chris on ‘Future or Fundamentals? Navigating the Way Forward for Urban Mobility’ with Eulois Cleckley, Director & CEO, @GoMiamiDade; Justine Johnson, Chief Mobility Officer, @MEDC; @heezo, Co-Founder & CEO, @MeterFeeder; @AlexRoy144, Principal, Johnson & Roy Adivsors.
Their work is pivotal in enabling a variety of #MobilityOptions, aiming to create more successful and livable regions. On their platform they share stories of residents benefiting from urban mobility changes and celebrate the impact of designing streets that prioritize people.
Chris and Melissa established @modacitylife, with the mission to inspire a shift towards more livable urban environments. They collaborate with organizations, municipal governments, agencies, non-profits, and corporate clients, addressing the needs of both large and small cities.
Chris and his wife @mbruntlett, authors of 'Building the Cycling City' & 'Curbing Traffic' advocate for urban mobility and strive to communicate the benefits of sustainable transport and inspire happier, healthier, more human-scale cities.
